Happy Ramadan my dear Muslim and Muslima friends

The month of Ramadan is a time for both religious and non-religiously observant
Muslims, and others in societies where Ramadan is celebrated, to place limits on
themselves as way to gain greater personal self-knowledge. Ramadan is an
important month in the Islamic calendar and culture, it concentrates on three
essential parts
• Sowm, or fasting
• Iftar, or breaking the fast on a daily basis
• Eid al Fitr, or the end of Ramadan three day feast
Ramadan is the name of the ninth month in the Islamic lunar calendar
Each day during the month, individuals are invited to fast during daily light hours, to pray
and to celebrate with family and friends the end of each day’s fast. At the end of the
month is a three-day holiday that celebrates the conclusion of the month and prepares the
individual to return to their regular daily routine.
